A Royal Welcome – 3:30 A.M.About one month before we embarked on this trip I sent a telegram to the Rebbe, inquiring about the possibility of having the Rebbe receive the entire group upon arrival. I received the following letter from the Rebbe’s secretary, dated the 27th of Sivan, 5721 (June 11, 1961):
I am directed to acknowledge receipt of your cable about the possibility of the entire group being received by the Rebbe shlita on arrival.
It is difficult to say anything definite at this time, since the date and time of arrival have not been finalized. However, when the group is about to board the plane, and perhaps from the actual flight, you will surely advise us of the exact hour of arrival, and then the question will be given consideration. You should bear in mind, however, that if the actual arrival of the group is at an inconvenient hour, and especially if the travelers may be weary from the journey, it may not be well advised to arrange an immediate reception by the Rebbe shlita. Needless to say, the travelers themselves should also be consulted, as it would not do to make them feel that they have been imposed upon.
I then read the postscript. It stated:
Since writing the above, your letter came with additional information about the trip, the arrival time expected to be between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. The Rebbe shlita wishes me to state that there would be no objection on his part, but the decision rests with you, in the light of what has been written above. When you have made a decision, please notify, preferably by cable. [continued]
